Best value – Endura Burner II Pant

Developed in conjunction with the Athertons, the new Endura Burner II pants DH credentials are clear. However they make for a great set of trail pants too. The four-way stretch fabric is not as stretchy as some, but comfort on the bike is very high. The fit is more generous at the waist than most so we would recommend trying them on first.

The simple ratchet closure of the Endura Burner II Pant ensures a precise fit and trustworthy security

Endura know how to make durable gear and the heavy-duty seat panel shows no sign of wear. The mesh-backed knees help to vent and stop bunching, while the sides of the knees are protected with moulded protectors for frequent crashers. The ratchet style belt buckle is comfortable and there are two secure zipped pockets for your essentials. The package is finished off with a silicone band at the waist to stop them slipping down.

The Endura Burner II Pant sits at the more durable end of the spectrum, but proved tough and comfortable. Rugged enough for heavy bike park use, the moulded knee pads boost durability, taking our BEST VALUE award.
